  Fedeli all'idea che "una strada non domanda altro che essere percorsa" e che lo strumento privilegiato di conoscenza sia l'esperienza diretta dell'andare, Enrico Brizzi e Marcello Fini partono, nell'estate 2006, per percorrere la Via Francigena tra Canterbury e Roma, 1600 chilometri e 33 città sulle orme di Sigerico, l'arcivescovo di Canterbury che per primo tracciò l'itinerario nel 990 d.C. Affrontano, mossi dalla sola forza dei loro piedi, il più importante asse viario dell'Europa medioevale. Camminano sulle orme di viandanti e pellegrini, riflettono on the road sul significato della vita e su quale eredità ci abbia lasciato quell'Europa di mille anni fa, per la prima volta unita nel nome della religione e delle radici culturali. Si chiedono che senso abbia camminare nel XXI secolo sulle tracce di un oscuro vescovo britannico, di masnade armate, di mercanti e falsi bordones mescolati agli autentici uomini di fede diretti verso il sepolcro di Pietro. Sono pronti a raccogliere le parole e le immagini che la strada saprà offrirgli. Al racconto di viaggio è abbinato un ricco inserto fotografico, mappe e un'approfondita guida con tutte le indicazioni per ripetere l'impresa tappa per tappa.

  Combining history, reportage, and nature writing with intimate moments of reflection, Greyhound tells of the journey from miscarriage to parenthood, and the purpose creativity gives to our lives when we feel purposeless 
   
  In 2006, in the wake of several miscarriages, Joanna Pocock traveled by Greyhound bus across the United States from Detroit to Los Angeles. Seventeen years later, she undertakes the same journey, revisiting the cities, edgelands, highways, and motels in the footsteps of the few women writers—Simone de Beauvoir, Ethel Mannin, and Irma Kurtz—who also chronicled their road trips across the United States. Combining memoir, reportage, environmental writing, and literary criticism, Greyhound is a moving and immersive book that captures an America in the throes of late capitalism with all its beauty, horror, and complexity.

  Three textile roads tangle their way through Central Asia. The famous Silk Road united east and west through trade. Older still was the Wool Road, of critical importance when houses made from wool enabled nomads to traverse the inhospitable winter steppes. Then there was the Cotton Road, marked by greed, colonialism and environmental disaster.
  
  At this intersection of human history, fortunes were made and lost through shimmering silks, life-giving felts and gossamer cottons. Chris Aslan, who has spent fifteen years living and working in the region, expertly unravels the strands of this tangled history and embroiders them with his own experiences of life in the heart of Asia.
